The SwissPostCertificate is available at over 2,400 post offices and can now be acquired more easily and at a more attractive introductory price. The SwissPostCertificate is a form of digital ID and can be likened to a passport or ID card for the digital world, enabling users to communicate confidentially. With a SwissPostCertificate, you can log in, communicate sensitive encrypted data and provide a digital signature. While the product is particularly suitable for communicating in a professional environment, it can also be used by individuals. The new introductory price is less than CHF 100 per year and the certificate can now be downloaded with just a couple of mouse clicks.

Swiss Post’s digital ID is now available at a more attractive introductory price and via a much simpler procedure. With the help of the new wizard, customers can now download the digital certificate for authentication, signing and encryption with just a few clicks of the mouse after completing the registration and identification procedure.

Secure, fast and international

The personal identification (yellow identification) required for the SwissPostCertificate has been possible at all of the 2,400 Swiss post offices since April. Thanks to the new means of identification, which requires a notarially certified or legally attested copy of an identity document, the certificate can now be purchased worldwide. Registration is the key to secure identification as SwissPostCertificates are only issued once the registration documents and the customer’s identity have been carefully checked.

Lower prices

Another benefit is that the customer can now choose whether to pay for the SwissPostCertificate annually or for three years in advance. Furthermore, the introductory price for the various certificates has been reduced for natural persons. The cost for the first year was previously CHF 90 for the starter kit plus a minimum annual fee of CHF 35. Now, the entire package is available for under CHF 100. Anyone opting for the three-year deal will benefit from a discount. New Swiss customers needing to use the certificate immediately will be able to apply their digital signature in just 24 hours, thanks to the express order option. Prices for the complete package (comprising hardware, software and advanced certificates for signing, authentication and encryption) are as follows:

SwissPostCertificate compatible with IncaMail

Certificates are digital identities and are comparable to a passport or ID card in the physical world. In collaboration with its subsidiary, SwissSign, Swiss Post not only offers the SwissPostCertificate but also a further product in the digital field, IncaMail 2.0. This product enables electronic data to be exchanged securely, verifiably and confidentially, and can be operated via an online platform. IncaMail 2.0 can be used on its own or – where greater security is required – together with the SwissPostCertificate.
